Property Description
Cottage Hall This historic cottage-style home sits approximately a quarter of a mile off the road, creating a wonderfully private estate. The remote-controlled gated entry has copper-top locust gateposts with lantern-style lights, and is flanked by stone walls traversing the front of the property built from hand-stacked stone uncovered on the estate. Surrounded by manicured acres, the gently sloping drive leads to a large loop, which rounds the towering Norway Spruce trees that serve as a windbreak protecting the main house. From the columned brick front porch looking past the surrounding farmland is a Blue Ridge vista of Maryland Heights to the East, Loudoun Heights to the South, and centered by the gap at Harpers Ferry. Built as a one-story cottage with brick hand-made on the property in the 1840s, and later embellished with a cedar-sided second story, the home opens into a grand foyer with a wide center staircase and open hall, from which the cottage originally got its name. On each side of the foyer, beautiful French doors open into the living and dining rooms, both of which have brick fireplaces and beautiful wood mantels, with a built-in china cabinet and open mirror-backed display shelves in the dining room. The first floor has 9.5-foot high ceilings capped by unique hand-plastered moldings, archways, and ceiling medallions, and the living and dining rooms have matching Czech-crystal chandeliers dating back to the 1940s. With hardwood floors throughout the home, the renovated kitchen is equipped with a porcelain-tiled floor and ceramic-tiled backsplash, Corian countertops, a six-burner commercial stove, and solid cherry custom-built cabinets that reach the ceiling. From the living room, French doors lead to a sun-room that opens onto the surrounding grounds, which include a blue-stone two-tiered patio, a former ham-curing shed that now serves as a gardening shed, and the recent addition of a six-vehicle car barn with lift. This property is truly one of a kind and is definitely a must-see.
